I know from long use the A*100/2.8 Macro is a great lens. I have less experience with the D FA100/2.8 Macro and it's good too! I expect the F and FA 100/2.8 Macros are extraordinary as well. Maybe Pentax just wants to make a small waterproof adjustment to a good lens, so all those new Pentax camera buyers can buy a great Macro. Sometimes it's hard to remember we don't all have a stable of old throughbreds. Regards, Bob S.
